Summary of "This Confirms The Witcher 3 DLC For Me."
Overview
The video argues—based on newly surfaced employment/tech “evidence” and past reporting—that CD Projekt Red is developing a third major expansion for The Witcher 3 (beyond Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine). The speaker frames this as increasingly credible “confirmation” rather than just rumor.
Core “evidence” cited
- Redanian Intelligence is cited as the source of a post claiming new evidence for a Witcher 3 expansion.
- A LinkedIn profile (attributed to “Twitter user ChaosX fhy”) purportedly shows work on a Witcher project, including:
- Gameplay systems and UI
- Use of Red Engine and Witcher Script
- Activity starting January 2026
Why the tech stack matters (per the speaker)
The speaker highlights that CD Projekt Red abandoned Red Engine years ago, shifting to Unreal Engine 5 for later projects like The Witcher 4 and the Witcher 1 remake.
Therefore, a Red Engine / Witcher Script project is suggested to be more likely tied to something still rooted in Witcher 3 technology—such as:
- a new Witcher 3 expansion, or
- related tooling/mod support
Linking it to other reported development rumors
The video revisits earlier claims that Fool’s Theory was recruited to help develop the expansion, originally sourced from a Polish podcast (“Rycerz Rock e i Boris,” mentioned in the video).
The speaker also cites CDPR’s quarterly earnings call hints about an unannounced project explicitly associated with Fool’s Theory, presenting this as indirect confirmation.
There’s some uncertainty discussed about who made the Netflix-related quest content, but it’s mostly treated as relevant only insofar as it may indicate Fool’s Theory’s experience using Witcher 3 tools.
Timing and content expectations
Release timing (still speculative)
The speaker notes multiple rumor ranges, including:
- May 2026 (previously suggested, rejected as unlikely)
- September/October 2027 (or possibly “this year or next year,” depending on the speaker’s prediction)
Story content (unclear)
The discussion lists possible settings/themes people have theorized, including:
- Zerrikania
- South Velen, tied to an older cult-related Yennefer/Roach/Avalac idea
The speaker’s own stronger speculation is that the expansion may use existing or familiar regions, potentially moving toward larger “Ciri-centric” continuation themes.
Speaker’s predicted narrative structure
The speaker proposes a framework connecting Witcher 3 to the next generation of stories:
- Play as both Ciri and Geralt, similar to how Witcher 3 shifts focus
- Different quest or starting scenario depending on which ending Ciri had, especially:
- “Bad” ending: Geralt/Ciri relationship repair first
- “Witcher” ending: a different premise involving Ciri becoming a witcher
- Managing the Empress / Nilfgaard / Morvran political arc based on choices
- Plot elements imagined as transitioning Ciri toward events leading into her “witcher” path, potentially foreshadowing what comes next in The Witcher 4
The speaker strongly prefers non-random, familiar regions, explicitly mentioning Vizima as a candidate rather than far-off locations.
Size and scale considerations
- The video suggests the expansion could be bigger than Hearts of Stone and possibly approaching the scale of ** Blood and Wine**.
- The argument is that a large zone—examples given: Toussaint, Lyria, or a large slice of Nilfgaard—could justify the pricing and marketing push, though uncertainty remains.
- The speaker expresses skepticism about Zerrikania as a Witcher 3 expansion setting, arguing it feels better saved for later games where it could serve as a major marketing centerpiece.
